National Defence Authorization bill (senate bill 1867)

[Nemisous]

There is a bill in the US Senate called the National Defense Authorization Act and it could be voted on as early as this week. This bill gives the president the authority to indefinitely imprison American citizens without a court hearing, both domestically and abroad. Senate Bill 1867 is bringing the battlefield to the homeland.

eh the current events is reserved for world news etc.  example,  "Iran ass rapes a jewish enterprise"  this is i more of a political thing, kind of like the internet censorship bill.

Actually I think it's better to have these events separated, that way we can focus more easily on one topic instead of spam and derailment.

I really dont see the problem... He's posting what he thinks to be an important event so we can discuss. The news isnt old, the bill contains fairly interesting implications, so whats the problem?

post count means nothing to me, as does respect.

but getting back on topic, the bill pretty much give the military martial law powers.

If this bill gets passed, I'm taking it straight to court.
This bill clearly breaks Habeas Corpus, a principle that is, in black and white, written in the Constitution.

When Obama tried to force people to get health care, it was taken to the supreme court and repealed.
Anything like the internet censorship bill, or this will, if passed, be repealed sooner rather than later.

No trolling intended, but did you know Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeaus Corpus during the Civil war ? ( just food for thought)

Additionally this shouldn't pass because of a judicial ruling that barred the Alien and Sedition acts; although this bill doesn't share the exact same actions as the A&S acts, they're close enough to stop the bill from actually passing.

Of course if in the off chance it does pass the courts Will throw it out; why ? Well once again because of the above.
